XML Namespaces use URL syntax to help allow them to be globally unique 
identifiers. They are not used to determine where to request a resource 
from.

Since no resource is being requested, there is no request to add 
security to, so there is no benefit to using HTTPS.

Changing the URL to add an `s` character makes it a **different** URL 
and thus a **different** namespace and thus **not** SVG.
